"I didnt have my son christened , had him blessed instead. I felt that i didnt have the right to force a religion on him so wanted him to be fully aware of all the facts and decide for himself. Most parents automatically sign their kids up and expect them to adhere to that choice. I feel its wrong personally. My son grew up and decided he couldnt really believe in a god ...he believed in darwins theory of evolutions therefore couldnt hold to the concept of a higher power. He read alot about all religions and excepted that it wasnt for him. His choice. Am i glad i did it....yes i am. Let your son decide when he is understanding of all the facts " +1 | |||

Let your son decide when he is understanding of all the facts +1 " +2 Our church had a triple christening this morning... Three little ladies aged 6 months, a year (or so) and 5yrs. I have adult friends who are not long christened... There is no "best before" date on turning to Christ. If it is important, for whatever 6 yr olds reasons, I would seriously attempt to do it. Good luck... Xx | |||

"Do you go to church? Do you follow the teachings of the Christian bible ? Does your son go to a Church funded school where all the other children are Christians ? Will you be raising him in the Christian Faith? He may well fancy the idea of being Christened but at his idea he has a six year old concept of what it means. He'll believe there is a god if you tell him there is. I say get him christened it does absolutely no harm to those that are not forced to follow. When he rejects Christianity and he will at some point in his life - whether he returns to it or not - being Christened does not prevent him from becoming atheist or indeed taking up a scientific stance or another religion of his choice. I'm agnostic with atheist leanings. " no i dont go to church myself either which is why i think this has brought up quite a few mixed feelings on the subject for myself i do however like to think i do follow some but maybe not all of the teachings of the christian bible. And i feel this has brought up questions that im now asking myself on my own beliefs and views and maybe i will take on very different views and beliefs myself when looking into and researching all the possibilities out there. i just thought id get some views of it from others and maybe new ideas which id not thought of to start me off on how to approach this subject. He goes to a mainstream infant school just in our local village so its not something that is expected of them kind of thing and to be honest the last i heard we'd not even got a regular vicar at our church and they do regurlarly have someone from the new life church near us go into his school etc for assemblies such as easter and harvest festival so i think even his school is very open minded to it all in a way. i'm now getting the feeling ive opened up a very big can of worms here | |||

"P.S Im not christened. I'd be interested to know if he came home and announced he wanted to be a Muslim would you still be amazed at his wonderful intelligence and agonise over whether to do it or not ......or just tell him NO ? " to be honest i probably would still be amazed at him and be interested in his views and wishes and hopefully would support him in whatever he wanted to do whatever his decision may be, i have many friends and family of different race religion and culture and dont feel that just because they are different in any way to me is a problem. My mum i would class as a very christian person and follower etc but my dad on the other hand walked out on her a couple of years ago and i now have a step mum whos originally from zimbabwe and 2 younger siblings who i love and respect just as much as any of my family members and friends. i have many friends also that are pakistani, muslim, african, irish etc the list could go on and i love and respect them purely for the people they are not for their beliefs or views i understand i may not agree with their views or beliefs and they dont mine but i respect that and just love them for the person they are, i suppose if we all did believe and think in an identical way the world wouldnt be so diverse and interesting | |||

"and sorry going off the subject about adults and their religious views and swinging but can u see the correalation between sexually repressive religious regimes?- its something I'd consider when I have kids(some day), do I really want to bring them up from an early age to be pretty intolerent of sexuality and sexual freedoms???- I dont believe in kids learning too much about sex from an early age, but for when they grow up, I can see religion always as a barrier to acceptance (in any culture) *of course if anyone tells me theyve diisclosed their swinging habits to their parish/community etc etc and recieved open arms please tell me I'm wrong lol" so me turning up at church to see a vicar to ask for advice and telling him my friends on fabswingers advised me to come see him maybe not such a good idea ?? lol | |||

"And .... Another thing I want to know is ..... Do Christianity and Swinging make good bedfellows ? I mean .... Can Christians be Swingers or Swingers be Christians? What's the Christian stance on fucking about ? I wanna know ..." This Christian can i see it on a number of levels...no one is perfect.i may fuck around,but i don't live in luxury whilst children starve.Jesus forgave the prostitute but destroyed the stalls of the money makers in the temple.Suggesting where his priorities lie. Secondly as it says on our profile we dont meet adulterers.Kev feels as strongly about this as me and he is no Christian. Third,since i do nothing without the consent of kev i do not consider myself unfaithful.There are many different models of marriage in the bible.When Rebbekah gave her handmaid to Jacob to fuck(Jacob beng the father of Israel) she was hardly behaving in a Daily Mail approved manner As far as my church knowing,sadly they dont,but i do not hide my views on sexualty,as positive and a blessing. i recently led a study on Adam and Eve and the discovery of shame.Some very straight laced people left saying i had made them reasses their view of the human body . But most importantly my relationship with God is personal,i reckon he knows me best and can cope with a bdsm fuck slut Christian | |||

"To poach a line and add a slant ……… “I don’t object to the concept of a deity”, I’m just baffled by the notion of why anyone would feel comfortable inducting their child to one which requires these very young children to participate in a formal ritualised display of allegiance, which is partly performed to anule the fear that should the child have befallen a tragic event before this ritual was performed, that child would then have been eternally dammed from entering the kingdom of heaven....which seems a tad harsh in my view!!!

"I'm a selfish believer, only seeking help and guidance when i'm in ill health or someone has died and i'm grieving. I have been Christened and it says C of E on my birth certificate (i think). None of my family are religious so not entirely sure why they Christened me. I was having the conversation with some friends about getting my little one Christened, but for selfish reasons. If something happened to me, id like the big man upstairs to be looking after her i guess plus it means she has godparents. Im not sure of the legalities of Godparents etc.. But was only just a brief thought. Like i said im only a part time believer, when i need something (very selfish i know)" Alot of people are having guardians (cant remember the exact name) instead of godparents these days. My sister is one as the church my sisters friend wanted her baby christened in wouldnt allow my sister to be godmother. I have a goddaughter it was a small village church and the vicar knew i wasnt christened and accepted that i would guide her through life bla bla bla. Just depends on the vicarss these days. But children dont automatically go to godparents if the parent dies, its more about bringing them up with christian but more moral beliefs. My godaughter is the daughter i have never had and i treat her as such | |||
